According to reports, Monaco could be set to hijack West Ham’s potential deal for Sporting Lisbon star William Carvalho. Carvalho has been long linked with a move to the Hammers as the club are looking to bolster their side.
However the defending French Ligue 1 Champions are now said to be viewing the Portugal international as a possible replacement for Fabinho, who has been linked with a move to PSG.
However it is unlikely that Monaco will follow through with a bid for Carvalho unless PSG do submit a very high bid for Fabinho.
The Hammers have been long linked with a move for Carvalho and are said to be haggling Lisbon over their £40 million evaluation of the player.
Considering that the East London club have made a poor start to the Premiership campaign though, there is a strong chance that they will try to complete the signing of Carvalho as they look to bolster their side.
